DRINK the best draught of Soma-juice, O Vayu, at our holy rites:
For thou art he who drinketh first.

Come, team-drawn, with thy hundred helps, with Indra, seated in the car,
Vaya, and drink your fill of juice.

3

May steeds a thousand bring you both, Indra. and Vayu, hitherward
To drink the Soma, to the feagt.

4

For ye, O Indra-Vayu, mount the goldenseated car that aids
The sacrifice, that reaches heaven.

5

On far-refulgent chariot come unto the man who offers gifts:
Come, Indra-Vayu, hitherward.

6

Here, Indra-Vayu, is the juice: drink it, accordant with the Gods,
Within the giver's dwelling-place.

7

Hither, O Indra-Vayu, be your journey here unyoke your steeds,
Here for your draught of Soma juice.
